Chapter 1859 She is going to watch my Champions League game live!

"I think we've been missing the point of the problem before."

In Parotti's office, he's telling a room full of colleagues on the coaching staff.

"After Ramires got injured, we always tried to fix the defensive problems. In the previous three league games, it seemed that we succeeded because we didn't concede a single goal. But we made bigger mistakes. Mistakes. That's the offense. We lost the ability to score goals. That's what kills us. So we conceded two goals against Ruhr Rhein and scored none."

Parotti looked around at the coaches in the room. Everyone was listening to him attentively, and many of them had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

He continued:

"Why did Ruhr Rhine score our two goals? Because they can attack with impunity. They know that our attack can't threaten them, so they can naturally go all out in attack. At the same time, they can use violent Offensively overwhelmed us, so we can only be exhausted in defense, let alone threaten them. It's a vicious cycle."

When he said this, the coaches in the room had already begun to nod frequently.

After combining what they observed on the sidelines of that game with what the head coach said, they all felt that what the head coach said made sense.

"The reason why Ramirez is the 'champion's cornerstone' is because of his outstanding defensive role, which can help us free up more energy and use it on offense. It must be admitted that it is necessary to fill the functional vacancy left by him. Very difficult. In the past four games, we have changed four starting lineups, but the effect is not good. On the basis of the existing players, it is impossible to replace him. Unless signings."

Parrotti spread his hands:

"So why don't we change our thinking? Since the defensive hole is difficult to fill, let's not fill it at all. How stupid is it to use him as a shield when we have the sharpest knife on the planet? So the second round and Ruhr In the Rhine game, we will fight against them.

"Anyway, now that the Champions League has canceled the away goal advantage rule, it doesn't matter how many goals they score at home, as long as we score two more goals than them in the end, we can drag the game into overtime. And with the lead Ruhr Rhein with a two-goal advantage came to the away game. It must have been unexpected that they would be dragged into overtime. So as long as the game enters overtime, their morale will inevitably be severely damaged, and our hope of a comeback will be greatly reduced. Great increase!"

"There is only one way for the Madrid Pirates to go back home, and that is to attack recklessly. In the face of their offense, all we have to do is to put a fence in front of the door, block their offensive, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. As long as we do If we defend and counterattack well, the final victory will definitely belong to us.”

Assistant coach Moritz Ryden's opinion was supported by almost all the coaches, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Moritz is right. As long as we can defend the first half, after the second half, the players of the Madrid Pirates will become more impatient and make more active mistakes. At that time is our chance to counterattack!"

"Yes, defense is still the highest priority. If there is no better opportunity, we would rather give up offense than disrupt our own defensive formation..."

"Even if we have no chance to counterattack, it doesn't matter. As long as we can withstand the attack of the Madrid Pirates, even if we don't score a goal, we can still eliminate them. We have a two-goal lead!"

"Be patient no matter what in the game, our players have the psychological advantage and can play more calmly..."

That said, everyone felt that a conservative strategy should be adopted in the second round.

At this time, the head coach Leroy Kuhn said: "No, I don't agree with defensive counterattacks."

When he said that, everyone turned their attention to him.

"Indeed, there is only one way for the Madrid Pirates to attack when they return home, so you can imagine how crazy their offense will be. In this case, can you guarantee that we will be able to defend if we put a bus in front of the goal?"

After he looked around, his eyes finally fell on assistant coach Moritz Reiden.

Reiden knew he had been named, but he was also extremely confident in his strategy, so he replied:

"Based on the performance of the Madrid Pirates in the last few games, I think that even if they attack with all their strength, it will be difficult for them to score us two goals. From the perspective of the players' personal status and tactical system, I do not support the sudden performance of the Madrid Pirates' offense."

"You are too arbitrary, Moritz." Kuhn shook his head. "Don't you know that there is Hu in their team? And how many people has Hu hit in the face before? Last season's Champions League semi-final, when Becker completed the Champions League single-season scoring record at home, what did everyone think? Then Huh? He scored three goals in six minutes. I know you're going to say Kyrie..."

He raised his hand to stop Reiden from speaking.

"But we are different from those fans. We can't really think that Hu was made by Kyrie, can we?"

Everyone was silent.

In the silence of everyone, Kuhn continued:

"The Pirates' offense did have problems, but I don't think they're going to be like that forever. Hu has shown too many times in the past that he's a player who always does wonders, and if we ignore his biggest 'instability' as a Pirates factor', then we will definitely suffer heavy losses in the second round. So I think that Hu's personal factors must be taken into consideration, and it doesn't matter how exaggerated it is, it is all reasonable."

When he said this, Kuhn's expression was very serious.

"The Madrid Pirates will definitely attack when they return home, and they will attack desperately. There is no doubt about this. Considering Hu's ability, I think it is not enough to blindly defend. On the contrary, we not only cannot blindly defend, but also actively Attack out. Even if you want to defend, you must adopt a high-position press to defend, and you must not let them attack beyond our 30-meter area."

"In this way, we are more likely to lose the ball than when we defend and counterattack..." Reiden had some disagreements.

"Of course, but we also have more hope of scoring goals. They score us a goal, we score them a goal, isn't the total score still two goals ahead of us? And when we can threaten their goal with aggressive attacks Sometimes, their offense will naturally be restrained. That's why we insist on attacking. Even if it's purely defensive, we should also be proactive in attacking."

Kuhn managed to convince all the coaches.

Indeed, if Ruhr Rhein can score in the away game, it would be more beneficial. And their previous defensive counterattack strategy also had scoring considerations.

In this way, the Ruhrlein coaching staff determined the next training arrangement - continue to focus on strengthening offensive drills, and make full preparations for the away game against the Madrid Pirates.

When I returned home after training, I saw Li Qingqing's Hu Lai before he could change his clothes, so he excitedly said to her, "We've been practicing offense all day today!"

Li Qingqing smiled and said: "That's good, I happened to think of you together."

"And Parotti also said that no matter whether you are playing Ruhr Rhine or Turias, you must stick to the style of play that puts offense first. No matter what the situation is, you must continue to attack." Holly said.

"This is different from the way he always emphasized defense in training before. I feel that Parotti has figured it out - anyway, the captain is irreplaceable, so don't replace it, just let go of the offense. To be honest, I heard him say that When I was there, I was still wondering if he called Clark overnight."

"Call Clark overnight? Haha! You're so good at thinking!" Li Qingqing laughed.

"Because I think the current situation is replaced by Clark, and I guess it's like this: 'Fuck it, just attack! Attack! Attack! Offense or offense!'"

Hou Lai imitated the tone of Leeds City coach Tony Clark and waved.

"You're pretty good at learning!" Li Qingqing gave him a thumbs up.

"That's right, Clark's personal disciple!" Hu Lai was not humble at all.

Seeing him like this, Li Qingqing asked, "Did the choice of the head coach make you more confident now?"

"En." Hu Lai put away his playful expression before, and nodded in response. "I was really worried that I was the only one who thought that way. If the coach's tactical arrangements don't cooperate with me, I can't do anything by myself. Now I don't worry."

Li Qingqing just laughed: "Then you help me get a ticket~lightnovelpub.net~ I will go to watch your performance live then."

Hu Lai froze for a moment.

This was the first time that Li Qingqing offered him a request to watch a Pirates match live.

"Why this expression?" Li Qingqing asked.

"Uh, it's a bit of a surprise... aren't you afraid of criticism?"

"The king has been eliminated in the Champions League, so what criticism can there be?" Li Qingqing said.

"Ah... that's right!" Hu Lai tapped his palm.

The King of Madrid was out in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Pirates and the Kings do not constitute direct competition in the Champions League.

Even if Li Qingqing went to watch the Pirates' match, she didn't have to worry about someone saying why she didn't support the king...

So he nodded: "Okay, I'll give you a whole ticket!"

He is looking forward to the second round against Ruhr Rhine.

Because that will be Li Qingqing's first time to watch his Champions League match live!
